⁸ But now, O Lord, ^(A)You are our Father,
We are the ^(B)clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the ^(C)work of Your hand.

⁹ “^(A)With weeping they will come,
And by supplication I will lead them;
I will make them walk by ^(B)streams of waters,
On a straight path in which they will ^(C)not stumble;
For I am a ^(D)father to Israel,
And Ephraim is ^(E)My firstborn.”
